Hi Mike

What kind of speakers are you thinking of for your set up?

I've been thinking of picking up a new AVR. Although I have a 7.1 set up with processor and outboard amps for my big system, I think a good 5.1 system works just fine.

That having been said, I'm waiting for the new Onkyos which have 2 extra front channels which supposedly gives a huge soundstage and the illusion of a huge space (when appropriate). This is the Pro Logic IIz format.

Good luck to you.
